ARCHIVED - I watched all of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex today.

I woke up, started watching it, and 13 hours later I finish. I thought it was pretty good, though the plot was sometimes hard to pick up on the insanely fast subtitles.
I liked the animation, and the "Laughing Man" conspiracy was kind of interesting before it was revealed.
*spoiler*
There is one thing I hated, though - it was the "Ghost" concept that the (totally awesome) Spider-robots had gotten by the end, because it contradicted my personal beliefs.
Oh, and the opening theme song is awesome. I like how it changed very subtly sometimes.

i can't stand dubbed anime. hell, i can't stand dubbed [i]anything[/i], but especially anime. i guess it's just that the voice overs are often terrible (imo). not only that, but there's almost [i]always[/i] something lost in the translation. people feel that they have to maintain lip-synch, and in order to accomodate this, they start cutting dialog.

Obbi, I loved Ghost in a Shell. Where can I get this? I fear I might have to start looking online cause I can't find it in any of the usual places I go for good Anime. Also... did you know that later this year I think, Ghost in a Shell 2: Innocence is coming out? Looks good.

They're releasing english-translated DVDs. I think they already released the first two. As far as where [i]I[/i] got them, I can't say.
A second one would be neat. I seriously want to get the english translated DVDs, mainly because reading subtittles the entire way through Trigun, then 94 episodes of Naruto, then Ghost in the Shell has made me weary of it.
